Hello, I'm Ashihak, but feel free to call me Ash or whatever nickname comes to mind. :3
I'm currently collecting money to save up for a figure eight puffer and I just have some nitpicky questions I'll be asking around the forums before purchasing one, and I also want to share my future experience with my puffer. :3 I've been studying them for weeks, but some of my questions have been left unanswered and I want some recommendations for filters etc.
Right now I have a 6.5 gal that has 4 endlers and 2 shrimp happily living in it.

Re: Hola!
Welcome to the forum. I assume you will be purchasing a bigger tank before the puffer? For a figure 8 you will also need:- marine salt, refractometer (to test salinity) and lots of decor, plus a 15usg minimum sized tank.
It's amazing how easy maintenance is. If done regularly and thoroughly
Re: Hola!
Yep, of course. x3 I'm hoping to get a 20 gal tank tomorrow. The perks of Black Friday!
And aw, on other sites they've been talking about hydrometers, wouldthat be fine too? I'll probably just buy a nice one I can find.
